If you have diabetes, it is recommended to have a comprehensive foot assessment at least every 12 months, and more frequently (every 3-6 months) if you have any risk factors such as neuropathy, poor circulation, or a history of foot ulcers.

What should I expect at my first podiatry appointment?

Accepted Answer

At your first visit, our podiatrist will review your medical history, examine your feet and lower limbs, discuss any concerns you have, and develop a personalised treatment plan. The appointment typically takes 30-45 minutes. Please bring any relevant medical referrals, your Medicare or DVA card, and a list of current medications.

Question 7

Can a podiatrist help with heel pain?

Accepted Answer

Yes, podiatrists are specialists in diagnosing and treating heel pain, including plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, and heel spurs. Treatment may include biomechanical assessment, custom orthotics, dry needling, stretching programs, and footwear advice. Most heel pain responds well to conservative podiatric treatment.

Question 8

Do I need a referral to see a podiatrist?

No referral is needed to see a podiatrist privately. However, if you wish to claim Medicare rebates, you will need a GP referral under a Chronic Disease Management plan (formerly Enhanced Primary Care plan). DVA patients may also need a referral depending on their card type.
